    Default Playing an audio file with phonon

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to play a simple audio file with phonon, but the sound doesn't work. The compilation process is ok, and the phonon linking is ok too.

    Qt Code:
    1. MyClass::MyClass(QWidget *parent, Qt::WFlags flags)
    2. : QMainWindow(parent, flags)
    3. {
    4. ui.setupUi(this);
    5.  
    6. Phonon::MediaObject *mediaObject;
    7. Phonon::AudioOutput *audioOutput;
    8.  
    9. audioOutput = new Phonon::AudioOutput(Phonon::MusicCategory, this);
    10. mediaObject = new Phonon::MediaObject(this);
    11. audioOutput->setVolume(0.5);
    12.  
    13. Phonon::createPath(mediaObject, audioOutput);
    14.  
    15. mediaObject->setCurrentSource(QString("vai.wav") );
    16. mediaObject->play();
    17.  
    18. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    My development environment is windows7 + VS2010 + QT 4.7.
    There's last one thing: the path audio file is correct and it's in the same directory the generated executable.

    Thanks all so much...

    What do the following two calls return?

    Qt Code:
    1. Phonon::BackendCapabilities::availableAudioOutputDevices()
    2. Phonon::BackendCapabilities::availableMimeTypes()
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Wysota, the output was:

    Ok, so it seems Phonon itself is working. Try passing an absolute file path to the file.

    Hi, so I put the following code:

    Qt Code:
    1. mediaObject->setCurrentSource(QString("C:\vai.mp3") );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    and

    Qt Code:
    1. mediaObject->setCurrentSource(QString("C:/vai.mp3") );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I'll try run this code in my linux box and then I'll post here.

    thank you.

    try adding your file to the resourses of your project and then just do QString (":/musicFiles/vai.mp3")
